Several weeks ngo tho T'clegrnpU published n clumsy circular letter, got ten out by some third parly cam paigner, widen purported to ltavo tieen issued by the American National Bankore’ Association. This circular was unsigned, bofc ditto of a Sunday ln ; March, #1id by the ihofiuigli- uesa with which It pltiyoi] Into tho hands of Hto tlilnt party politicians botraycA.the. fact that It was fraudu lent. Tho Telegraph printed It, how ever, along with a formal statement by the officials of the American Hank ers' Association Unit they had never Issued such a circular, knew nothing whatever nlwut it, did uot tvellovc In the truth of the statements made In It, nud never nw It .until It nppenred In print as n third party campaign docu ment. Tills publication was made not only by the Telegraph, but hy. numer ous other papers, anil certainly should hnre attracted the Attention of news paper editors and of politicians prom inent enough to be candidates for con- gross. Nevertheless,' the .{"Manta Con stitution of October 1H priuls n letter from Dr. Felton, which Incorporates tills fraudulent circular, amt In com menting editorially upon It accepts it ns n genuine circular Issued by the banking association. Yesterday It tv- cut* lo the'subject tttul points out for Dr. Felton's benefit that the circular Is fraudulent and therefore worthy of no credence whatever. Dr. Felton Is oue of the most Intelligent taea who Im; gone Into the third parly move ment lie Is no doubt very much bet ter Informed than n vast majority of the lenders of that party. Bat we nro told that must of his speeches during Ills campaign nro based on statements made In thh> fraudulent circular. Ills campaign docs not therefore differ In character from those made by the thiol lortr generally In every part of the country. Third' party campaigns have beat based Almost entirely on false statements and misrepresentations. In tended to mislead nml deceive the pio- plc. Dr. Felton's nrgumputa for Pop ulism. to the extent tlvnt they were baud on the false statements of this fraudulent circular, fall to tho ground. We shall see now If Dr. Felton will take the trouble to undeceive the peo ple whom ho has himself Ignorantly deceived. TRAIN ROBBING. One of our exchanges suggests that the best remedy for train robbing Is to make It a capital offense. We think the Idea a good one. Experience shows tlxat a matt who tmtortaltes to rob tho express car of s train Is not merely r.vkicss of his own life, but is equally willing to take. In tbo tcos: horrible manner and without provocation, the lives of other people. The last robbery near Washington show.xl that, when In no danger themselves, the robbers wens nSlllng to send a wild engine back down the road, up which they knew a fa»t <■ aprrss train was Coming, cu Ungeriug the lives of mmty people, without adding in any degree to th. ir own safety. Appareutly they were taking the lives of lun'seent people out of mere wnntonnc**. They would have taken them hath not; an intelligent switchman, hy great ifooit fortuhe, nap- pened to os In a position to save the onSang' red twin. If is true that des peradoes of this class put very little value on their own lives,*' They are always willing to take desperate oJninrot, when there Is u prospect of much gain If they are successful. Nev ertheless, If they are outlawed, If every man tempted to adopt this pro fession knew that tlm law held btin In the same estimation as a murderer, many would be restrained. We do not doubt that many a man has developed Into a train robber, am! into n very bloodthirsty one at that, who started out with the Idea Unit he was going Into a very romantic aud not very rep rehensible business. Hud he known exactly what that business would de velop Into, had he from the first known that he was a murderer In the eye < f the taw, possibly he would have with stood the temptation, lucre is noth ing romantic In the hangman's dang ling noose. EFFECT OF 'POPULIST GOVERN- MKNT. The Business Men's Longue of Den ver, Colorado, composed of 5,(XXl btisl- ncss men, partly Republicans, partly Democrats and partly recent Populists, has Issued a statement, signed by the officers of the league, which ought to be of interest in the other states threat ened with a Populist luvaidon. The circular letters of business men do not often deal with political questions. It Is felt that such organizations should uoaflne their discussions to quadlonn pertaining to trade, transportation, etc. But the Denver business iron nro apparently forced to see that the first of all business qneqlons In Colorado la to get rid of the Populist govern ment of that state. Here Is an extract from their circular: "Populist rule In Colorado turn been like a devastating forest Are. By destroying our credit, which ts the life of commerce, it hue consumed tor the time being not less than |300,000,000 or values In this state. Colorado's credit wee so high that the borrowing power of her property ranked In the late census next to that of New York. The borrowing power, this main spring ot our splendid progress, has been temporarily parslyxed by the accidental ascendancy ot a party which stands for repudiation and Autism and la not a true friend to hard silver money. "The property of Denver waa assessed for 1100,000.000; and was worth three times thut sum when the Popullats came In power. Notwithstanding the clty’e Inert, tabfy brilliant future, the average aclUng price of this property, pending the over throw of' Waltelsw, tuu shrunk two- thlrds. "BHver tun declined only a per cent., or leas than the average products ot the other states, while the increased value and output of gold, together with our bountiful crops, have more than made up the shortage. Therefore, not over one- half of duf' shrinkage of values- can bo Charged to tho panic and the universal depjajtatiou resulting from the' gold Stahdnrd, The other one-hatf of loss It due directly and wholly to the destruction of confllence by Populist misrule. i "So withering boa this been that ot the present moment eveu a gold mine cannot j borrow It on S worth ot gold ore actually In eight with which to extract that ore and send It to the smelter. Lenders are anxious to reap the rich harvest offered, but hold aloof until the election tn No- I vomber decides whether we are to hnve ! anarchy or civilised government. Two hundred thousand farmers from the drought-stricken states to tho east ot us aro anxious to come here and furm by Irrigation, but under Populist rule we can borrow no more money with which to build Irrigating eanuts. Manufacturing Is moat profitable here, but capital shuns Populism as a poetllence. - ' This Is exactly In hue with what tho Telegraph has taken occasiuu to say very malty times In tho past. Tbo want of credit, tho want of confidence destroys tho value of property nud makes prosperity In business Impossi ble. Populist doctrine* arc at war with nil the rales and regulation* which the experience of thousand* ‘if years has compelled busluess men to adopt. Populism menus an attempt to got rid of debt without paying It. When It controls a state, to tho extent that It Is honest In Its fanaticism, it will help men to repudiate debts. Under such rule there cannot ho confidence, and the loss Indicted on tho peopto by such rulo Is enormms. Tho figure* glvou in the statement of tho Denver Business League are probably well within the truth. NEW YORK POLITICS. drawing to HHI'b support the men who I hltton, without brain*, should be tub- have been most bitterly opposed to atHuted by modest worth, with qtiall- «, i,.,, ' ,..7* flcatlon* for position. Choke off these him heretofore in local poLtiax They yuk pestiferous faliens and seek out begin to discover tkst they must elect him or be themselves wiped out ns po litical factors of Importance. It Vi en tirely possible to separata tho fortune* of Hill from those of Tammany, aud It Is not Imp-visible that HIU may be entirely successful, at the same time that Tammany’s local candidate* are swept off the field. Senator Faulkner’s appeal for har mony to tho Domocrttlo factious ot New York ought not to bo without ef- tcct. He <qic:tks for tbo natloual patty, whose Interests, to a very large extent, tire bound up la tho results ot tho local Struggle now going >ui in New York. A factional division large enough ami hitter enough to defeat Mr. HIU can not be cured during the Ihno which In tervenes before the presidential elec tion. Hill’s defeat from such a cause, therefore, probably moans the defeat of the Pcmocratio candidate for presi dent In IS!Hi. If lilll Is beaten because tn local politics heretofore he has of fended the sensibilities ot certain per sous, or even because ho has violated certain rules of conduct which ought to be binding in good men, tho effect will not be merely to humiliate him aud to exclude the faetloa which he heads from-participation In publio af fairs. The humiliation to him will be very" slight He will continue to hold his great office of senator. But the Democratic party, of which he is th< representative In thin campaign, in ►pile of nil his faults, will !>» the Its tan, the main sufferer, if ho Is defeat ed. It Is this consideration which is SHORT TALKS WITH MANY PEOPLE. Mr. W. P. Dawson, traveling passen ger agent of the Central, returned yes terday from southwest Georgia, where he has been to acquaint himself with the business to be liumUed by his roud during the Dixie Fair. Tho remit of his Investigation surpassed his expec tations. He visited Americus, Albany, Dawson, Knfaula and Thofnasgllle, aud rays be thinks the majority of the pop- Illation of each of these town* will be la Macon during tho fair. Judge Allen Fort came up from Americus at 7 o'clock yesterday merit ing und left on the 4:23 o'clock train for Atlanta. He spent Hie day talking with prominent local politicians aud swopping pointers on the present statu* of politics In the state. Tom Trammell, who, though yet a young man, -is n veteran drummer who now travels southwest Georgia, was sitting in the Brown house rotunda last night when he made tho remark that the whole of southwest Georgia is coming to the Dixie Fair. Never before has he seen the people so inter ested in a fair or exposition!, and ho says Macon need feel no tmeasinom about the attendance on the Dixie Fair so far as southwest Georgia Is concerned. 'Mr. Walter G. Smith, who knows many things beside* bow to keep tlio county's records In tho most perfect manner, had a suggestion to make yes terday as to the best wuy oiti of tho public, library difficulty. The proposi tion to have tho Aloxnudcr Free School trustees tuke charge of tho library seems to him itest, but Mr. Jewett, one of tho trustees, seems to stand in the wuy of this. Mr. Smith thinks the other trustees should proceed In a friendly manner to assume, control of the library property, nnd it should be arranged to have Sir. Jewett file n friendly bill to enjoin them;' thereby having the rights of the trustees estab lished by the court*. Ho thinks tills would settle tile matter In the quickest etui safest way. "You Southern people who hnre never lived In the North, East and West,” said Col. Banlec, the Jovial manager of the "Last Days of I’om- peli," "do hot know what a'blessing you have In negro labor. I have trav eled n great deal and hove paid partic ular attention to the labor ‘ question. The negro lnbor of the Sdult Is the best labor In the world, from the fact that the negroes are contented aud happy, while (he foreign labor In the other sec tions of the country—and the greater portion of It Is foreign labor—is rest less nnd cannot lie satisfied. - 1 was In Detroit during the strike there and also In Chicago during Hie big strike there, and by simply reading, newspa pers accounts you can form, no nde* qtlAto Idea of the spirit of anarchy exhibited by the people. With .Hie Colored,people there Is no such feeling slid they are the most contented peo ple on earth.” A citizen, ,-who rays he scljlfim kicks at anything, made the request yester day that the question be ‘.publicly asked: “Does the city intend to dis figure nml disgrace tho approaches to Centr.fl City Park hy. allowing the thoussfnd nnd one little deadfalls (fried fish stalls, sandwich stand* and such things) to do business in front of the park gate during tho Dixto Fair?” "We will let thrill* go on Saturday," said Professor Derry yesterday, In an swer to the reporter's query cnnron'ng a holiday for the Wesleyan girls to visit the fair. “And, of course,” ho coutluurd, with n nolle, wo w.ll give them n day or two besides, but wo havo not told them so," till ''TVix collections are nwny ahead of whnt they wore tills time last year," aald Tax Collector Albert Jones yes terday, “notwithstanding that the rate of taxation 1ms lieen teduced. I be lieve I will have loss trouble this year than I have ever nacl before, and It makes me feel good.” JUDGE JNO. I, BALL 18 THE MAN. An Open Letter to the General Assem bly, Elect. A Justice of the supreme court 'la to bo selected and elected by you to fill the place made vacant by the re tirement of our % distinguished and hon ored chief Justice, Logan ’E. Bleckley. The Importance of dill selection, It te apprehended, may. possibly,' not be fully considered,In the short time In tervening, before the opening of the legislature. Without presuming Vo dii-ste, or ,tn the ehgtttezt degree, to suggest your incompctoocy, or any lack of patriotism emd wisdom, I be* to say that no more Important elective mat ter will come before you, during the coming session. AU lawyers and their clients are deeply and directly, and oil the people Indirectly, Interested hi thta election. Tt Is of greater concern and Importance to the people trim eve.n the election of s governor. It behooves you. therefore, to lay aside all polltt- eid prejudices, all party •Omnlcm. ell perrons! favoritism, and with a single and patriotic purpose, seek only to secure the very best msn for. the place. Office seekers, ah least for this position, should be relegated to tho rear. It Is not «n office to bo sought. It Is one that few men of true great- neex would accept without profound misgivings and apprehensions. I do not mo in bore Stoat worthy gentlei may not. with propriety, aspire <• trad make their aspirations known; and even solicit the suffrages of friends, tn these days, ot least, such Is not re garded Improper; on the contrary, it has became the custom, not Vo say that It ts regarded a necessity. Without going Into the ethics of politics, X re mark ttrat, however this may be, no ■man's desire for the office, however earnestly nnd actively manifested, should, in the leu* degree, control the Judgment of the general assembly- tor It should be a simple matter ot Judg ment—and politics and friendship and bargaining for future returns, etc., should have absolutely nothing to do with it. The people Of this state want a Justice who Is able to Interpret and expound, correctly, falthfutty and hon e-ray the laws—a man Kke Bleckley— whom nothing could swerve from duty. The law. the truth and duty were his golds—complete justice hi* watchword. The people want no modern office-seek- . r*. wire pullers, trotters for office. They have had enough of such. An- little pestiferous fellow s man trtio will give character to the office at homo and abroad. This ap plies to all the offices you will be catted upon to fin. Find tho best man, "Dil igently Inquire and '.rue presentments to your people •make,” of such men ss will thus serve. Do Sibil and we shall ■hear no more of "official rings,” "those who conftral,” etc. Asking pardon for what you may deem Impertinence. I proceed to exerctae. Vibe right of every citizen, and aft the risk of being deemed hy him officious arid without authority, I call your attention to a gentleman, now occupying an honorable posttlon at the national capital, who Is known by every lawyer at any experience in the state. Hie name heads this arti cle. Whether he will accept a place on the supremo bench, I know not; but. in common 'With nearly all of the mem bers of the bar. I believe him Vo be one of the beat equpped, tf not tht very best lawyer, all things considered, at the bar of this stvte. Judge Hall Is now tn the prime of life; of ripe ex perience and possessed of an intellect ual strength, vigor and comprehen siveness rarely seenh and, wfthal, a most rapid end not! vs worker—no small quality here. The writer beard •a very distinguished supreme court Justice say. substantially, 'that Judge Holt was the ablest lawyer who then practiced In that court. That headways aided the court by his clearness of statement said clean-cut logic nnd ready citation, more than any other lawyer. I have no doubt that bis eledtlon would give 'the highest satisfaction to the bar, and certainly would secure for the E eople an honest, -able snd tncomiptl- le Justice. It ts probable that Jus- 'tlce Simmons will be made chief jus tice. This Is logical and right. No man will sustain him, on the left, bet ter khan Judge John I. Ball In my humble opinion. Finally, whatever you do, for the sake of the honor of the state, the good of your people, let not 'uhe man take a seat on that bench who will not coniine himself to the bus iness with iwhlch he ta entrusted, who can't keep off the curbstones, and out of the lobby corridors—m man who schemes to get In and who schemes to stay. Honorable names are already before you other ttJtan Judge Halt. Why not choose from Buch a class as Hopkins, Clark, Nat Hammond, Ander son. Van Epps, Blliups, Cummings and the like who are able men, and who cannot ho mixed, enticed, traded Into uny ring, nor controlled by hopes of office; who would, at nil times, "swear to their hurt and Ho not.” Lay aside and spurn every Influence In all elec tions, except 'that Influence which pa triotism prompts and honesty approves, and the good of your state will have been well subserved. Respectfully, Lawyer. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report REMEDY FOR HARD TIMES. To the Eilltor-of the Telegraph: “If the fellows who are spending till their available time trying to teach people their tlteor.es of the cause of hard times aud advocating their cure-all remedy for them would work less with tbelr months and more with their hands there would be a blamed sight less to complain about and it bigger p.le of.wood,” remarked tho old citi zen, as HO tilled his pipe nud lit It. Blowing n whiff of smoke into Hie air nml watch.ng it ns It curled upward, he continued; "There nro too many peoplo who think they have a special call to reorganize things in general. If Grover Cleve land would be guided by them he would have uo trouble fit mauaglug tho inu- clilne at Washington. If the rtmtne.cin of the country would be controlled by their advice every man would havo more money thnn he would know what to do with. If auinebody would pull their chestnuts out ut the lire there would be uo more worry nor want. Everything would move along as slick as a man on a toboggan slide. Haven't you seen lots-of that sort? Plenty of ’em everywhere, I guess. Georgia's got her share aud some to spare. She wouldn't lose much if she spared ’em all. If would be a prolltiblo deal to trade ’em alt off on a s.xtee.i to one ratio—sixteen of ’em for a man willing to pitch lu nud help develop the coun try. No better land under tho sun than In old Georgia. The Garden of the Lord, sir; but, like the vineyard spoken of hy the Master, it needs work ers—take 'em at any hour, from first to eleventh, if we can get ’em.” Taking a long pull at his pipe .rad emitting a'spiral of bins smoke, he added; “Yes, we've got too many ca lamity cronkcre-all they do is to croak. Everybody knows times have been hard, but you can’t make 'ton easy nud bring back prosperity without working for It. These fellows argue as though the government should bo organized to give everybody som6t!t!ng for nothing. My. my! what a fortune a man could make.tf ho could buy up ail'd! these people who can tell you Just how to (Its It at their actual value nnd sell ’em for whnt they think they aro worth. The Astor*.

You use tho terms “monkey business," "apologies," etc., and espe cially say: ‘•Rcoeivcr N. E.

I never knew that I had made such an .tdmlsHlou tts -that charged la the article. In riior, tf I had taea asked by you, before the publication, whether such an admission hud been made by me I would bare unhesitatingly denied It and denounced the man who aaseri- «1 H. But the facts are simply these: Some time In the month of June of this year a lot of Mueon and Northern tickets accidentally and unwittingly g>x Into the hinds of a tlritet broker in Atlanta. They retched the brok.r's hands with out my knowledge or consent, express or Implied. They wex-e sold by the bro ker, as I am told, without rebate or discount, to genuine customers and were accoutred for to this company at the ftill tariff rates. While this transection wm irregular. Powder PORE and would not have been countenanced by me for a moment, yet I am tnhocm- ed unit similar aransticttons nave oc curred now and thotx in 'the operations of some very well regulated tuiltztdt In the country. But. be mat na It may, when «bie Western railroads comp mined about it I lmmedau.diy exarmned UiH the frees and wrote a 'frank thatement of the true condition of affairs. I might Have passed toe matter over without notice or covered up tne 'truth in u long explor nation, but I have wJi yet hud euin- uout railroad experience to know how to evade 'the truth or conceal a wrong cotton, eo 1 wrote fully and truthfully about the occurrence. I mode no apol ogy, for none was required, 'but I did tell them that none at my connections would Joee a dollar by tihe transaction, and that I wus as Innocent of wrong as, they were themselves or words of this Import. I did not admit that the 'tktkWls were put out to demoralize the Western rates because it wus not true. Only a sm.Hl Mt was sold—net over seventy- five excursion or round trip tickets— and this certainty could not have de moralized very greatly the “Western nates.” Aud now, Mr. Editor, let mo say in conclusion, I have held und run this Ht'.le railroad tor 'two year* with but one single purpose In vtew. I tun not a railroad man, tts you know; I have no ambition for «uch a distinction, but I Waive ifett (bat this railreud was worth mote to Its owners and the poo-’ pie who live along tit 'than the railroad magnates were wilting to concede. I have tried do run It as sn Independent line—believing as I did that as long ns It occupied this relation It could be made of great benefit to tho people at eiUier terminus and to tihe, patrons along Its route. Its operatlorf has ci'r- tulttly tended to prevent monopoly, >co ougOt competlon and especially to cause J • reduction In cost of transportation for the business people of Macon, with Uhls hope and promise I 'have held on to the road, forgetting my own ppr- sonui interest in the earnest desire to bring profit to the people of the com munity in which I live. It has opened up 'to them a ww route to the North, to the East and to tho West, tin ns long as to continues an independent line Hb existence nlouc Is, enough to give oasu ranee ot fair rates fee Macon.
